"My mother has breast cancer, which is a private disease. Even if I want to take care of her personally, it's not very convenient..." Feng Rui said with a somewhat embarrassed look, "I would like to ask you to visit my mother more often during this period of time, considering that you and my mother got along well in the past."
When Shu Shichu heard what he said, he smiled and said, "I used to get along well with your mother? I was the one who tried to please her, right? But even though I tried to please her so much at that time, she was still indifferent to me, so I don't think I had any friendship with her. You can't convince me with this."
Feng Rui's face turned ugly for a moment. As a son, he naturally understood his mother's character, so he knew that Shu Shichu was right. His mother used to be just like him, enjoying Shu Shichu's one-sided flattery and dedication, but they themselves were reluctant to give back.
Thinking of the past, he smiled bitterly, wiped his face, and asked, "I know that my mother and I have let you down and have taken your efforts for granted. I can make amends, but now I still hope that you can comfort my mother for the sake of our being...neighbors. Just consider it as me hiring you, okay?"
Shu Shichu shook his head unceremoniously: "No, I have to go to work every day and have my own life on weekends. I don't want to go to a place like the hospital. And I'm not short of money. By the way, since you are willing to pay to hire someone, why don't you just hire a female nurse? Wouldn't this be able to take better care of your mother in a more professional way?"
Feng Rui sighed, "Although the female nurse is more professional, she is a stranger. My mother is already suffering from such a serious illness. She has to adapt to the close care of a stranger immediately. It will increase her anxiety and be bad for the development of her condition... But you are different. You are someone my mother is very familiar with. If you are here, she will definitely feel more at ease to accept the operation, so I still hope you can consider it and accompany my mother."
He actually didn't give up, but Shu Shichu felt impatient and said directly: "Sorry, I refuse. As a neighbor with no blood relationship, I have no obligation to take care of your sick mother. That is your obligation as a biological son. Don't tell me that your mother's illness is not suitable for a son to take care of. This is nonsense. You are almost dead and still care about these ethics and morals. It only shows that your mother's life is not that important to you."
Shu Shichu sneered and said sarcastically, "You want to outsource filial piety too? I've only heard of married men asking their wives to work hard and be filial to their mothers as a matter of course, but I've never heard of a male neighbor outsourcing filial piety to his female neighbor... You've made a good calculation, no wonder you're doing so well in the company."
When Feng Rui heard her words, his face turned pale and blue. He closed his eyes, suppressed the shame that was poked in his heart, and finally squeezed out a few words to say to Shu Shichu: "I'm sorry, I was presumptuous, just pretend I didn't say that."
After saying this, he turned and left, his back looking disheveled, as if he was running away.
Shu Shichu sneered and closed the door. It was so unlucky that someone came to his house and asked him to take care of a patient. Shu Shichu felt that all his good luck for the day was driven away by the shameless Feng Rui.
I don't know where he got the nerve to ask me to help take care of his mother even though I had told him that I was going to distance myself from him. Maybe he was sure that I couldn't really let him go
Bah! Shu Shichu wanted to spit on him.
Shu Shichu's refusal turned out to be the opportunity that Xu Yueyue had been longing for. She had already annoyed Feng Rui with her nagging, and was worried that she couldn't change Feng Rui's opinion of her. After learning that Ms. Feng had cancer, she suddenly forgot her contempt for the original Shu Shichu when she first traveled through time, and she couldn't wait to replace Shu Shichu and became the one who took care of Ms. Feng wholeheartedly and meticulously.
However, she was smarter than the original owner. She took the opportunity to ask Feng Rui to give her a formal status, indicating that she was his official girlfriend. Feng Rui was unwilling at first, but after he personally took care of Ms. Feng, who became irritable and moody due to illness, for a few days, he couldn't stand it anymore and agreed to Xu Yueyue's request on the spot. It seems that this principle is not unchangeable. No matter how annoying a woman is, as long as she is useful to him, a man can accept her with his eyes closed.
… He eventually outsourced his filial piety to his girlfriend who was not married but was temporarily promoted.
Xu Yueyue did this because she had no other options. Didn't she know that she might end up like Shu Shichu in the original story? Of course she knew, but she wasn't as gentle and harmless as Shu Shichu. When she was taking care of Ms. Feng, she had spread the news that she was Feng Rui's girlfriend and Ms. Feng's future daughter-in-law. She told the patients and their families in the same ward that she was being filial to her boyfriend, saying how hard she tried and how much she loved Feng Rui... She firmly established her identity and used a thick moral code to set Feng Rui up - she had been filial to Feng Rui and taken care of his sick mother for him. If he broke up with her after his mother recovered, wouldn't that be a scumbag
The spit of people around him could drown Feng Rui. Xu Yueyue had learned her lesson. She kept a trick up her sleeve to prevent Ji Yao from snatching Feng Rui away after returning from studying abroad.
Shu Shichu didn't know about Xu Yueyue and Feng Rui. She and Lu Heng had been dating gradually. Although their relationship was strongly encouraged by their mothers, they did not reject it. They followed their own steps and dated each other in a way that made both of them feel relaxed and comfortable. Even though there was nothing earth-shattering, there was a kind of calm and warm leisure.
Unlike the two of them, Ji Yao returned from studying abroad half a year later and, as expected, fell in love with Feng Rui again. However, in this life, Feng Rui already had a legitimate girlfriend, Xu Yueyue. Everyone in the company knew that Xu Yueyue was pursuing Feng Rui. Moreover, she helped Feng Rui take care of his seriously ill mother and even fulfilled her duties as a future daughter-in-law. Therefore, she stood on the moral high ground and firmly held the identity of Feng Rui's girlfriend.
When Ji Yao pursued Feng Rui, she became a shameless mistress who interfered with other people's relationships. Even though she was the daughter of the company's boss, she could not resist everyone's private contempt for her immoral behavior of stealing other people's boyfriends.
Feng Rui also has a crush on Ji Yao and is eager to break up with Xu Yueyue, but this is impossible unless he can give up his promising career in the company where he has worked hard for several years and doesn't care about the strange looks people around him give him...
Unfortunately, he is not the kind of person who would give up everything for love, so he can only continue to be with Xu Yueyue painfully and reject the bright and beautiful Ji Yao.
What was originally a sweet love story was forcibly broken up by Xu Yueyue and turned into a BE tragedy of abusive love. This is also her ability.
Shu Shichu was very moved when he knew about it. As expected, evil people need to be punished by evil people. Wasn't Feng Rui controlled by Xu Yueyue? In the original world, Shu Shichu was too kind, which made him so lucky.
